answers of these questions.

ØAvoid procrastination.

ØDo homework,

But practically is it possible to manage time, to stay
organized, punctual, and steadies in the social cacophonies? There are also
other priorities which are equally important as that of study such as gym,
entertainment, family, and friends. How it is possible to study in this kind of
tight schedule and hence above mentioned tips seems to be impossible. As a
student I know how it feels when your parents and teacher pushes you towards
your books. But from one point of view they are right, because they are more
experienced about life than us. Now a big question arises, How to do study
along with other activities.

Here are some basic tips which may accelerate your study or studies habits and
can resolve above question.

#01: Inspiration:

According to the Oxford dictionary inspiration is “the process of
being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something
creative.” Inspiration is everywhere whether it is your street or
backside your school. Inspiration is
the key tool. You can read and watch inspiring stories and videos. Avoid taking
small things lightly, because you may miss fathom of nature.

#02: Make good Friends:

This is one of
the most important point and just not only about study but also about life too.
“Good friends are good teachers.” One another benefit is that they will keep
you motivated, I know sound little funny, but I experienced it. Stay around
smart and versatile people. Observe them, ask them and try to be present in
present.

#03: Understanding:

What understands? Technically “Understanding” means to know what is going on and what is
going to be happen. You need to understand theories, laws, derivations and
processes. I have seen most of the students tries to memorizing every word of
the book, is it fair idea? We should keep in mind that our motto is building
understanding and not memorizing.

#04: Do less secure more:

What does it indicates? Do less
means “Scientifically minimizing content of study.” and secure more means
“Applying set of techniques into exams to get more marks.” So “Do less and
secure” can be defined as “A process of analyzing study content and on basis of that
building certain techniques to score effectively.”Let me explain, how to do this.

These are basic steps and may get vary according to your
subject, field, and university. Remember, it is complex and can be executed
well with the help of teachers and seniors. It is one of the deadliest weapon
to crack exams.

#05 Use Map minds:

If you are an
engineering/medical student then you may have seen that how bulky and complex
theories are there. How to digest these theories, laws and processes? One of
the simple technique is to break them is the graphical and tabular form.

Use colors and pencils to draw mind maps. Visual and graphical
formats can be curbed easily as compare to black and white words (Ah! I just
hate black and white books, colorful picture and texts are easy and cool to
understand, aren't they?) How
to Make a Mind MapThis may help you.

#06: Write effectively in exams:

Last but not
least, if you are not able to put your knowledge on the paper in a particular
manner then you won’t be able to achieve your target. “Writing is an art and science.”

Avoid over writing and always write to the point. Instead
of writing paragraph, you should break it in points. Writing technique depends
on what type of exam and subject you are giving. Time management and writing
are correlated to each other. So keep in mind writing is dependent of
knowledge, time and marks allotment.

These tips may help you to
crack the exam and best method of study is that doesn't change your method of
study, stick with it. Each and everybody have its own thinking angle and
particular way to carry out the task. Please kindly let me know your ideas and
suggestions to improve study methods. I need your valuable comments to
implement it.
